Apple has promised to fix a dictation bug that has been causing iPhones to replace certain words, including racist slurs, with US President Donald Trump’s name. The issue has sparked widespread concern and outrage among users who have taken to social media to share their experiences.
The problem was discovered by users on Twitter and other platforms, where people were shocked to see that the AI-powered dictation system would instead write out “Trump” when it encountered certain racial slurs or derogatory language. Apple has since acknowledged the issue and promised to release a software update to fix the bug.
In a statement, an Apple spokesperson said: “We are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.” The company has not specified exactly when the update will be available, but users can expect to see it rolled out in the coming weeks.
